It could be that your timing belt ripped or if your car is equipped with a lot of sensors (BMW, mercedes, ect) then it could be a sensor problem but the engine wouldn't quit...so most likely timing belt rip or alt belt slipped off.

What causes speed drop in motor?

1) If current, at 'on load' condition, reach or cross its rated value, then the speed of the motor will be decreased. 2) If there is any voltage droop occurs in the incoming supply then the speed of the motor will be decreased.


What would cause a drop in speed while going uphill if the transmission has slipped before?

A drop in speed while going uphill is normal for most vehicles. If the speed is more than 20 mph slower than when first ascending the hill, there could still be a problem with the transmission or an oxygen sensor.


What happen in shunt motor speed if the resistance is increased?

Its performance becomes worse. The speed will drop more when a mechanical load is put on the shaft.


What could cause a 2002 Buick Century to misfire and the speedometer to drop from 60 to 20 without losing speed?

It can be anything from the printed circuit in the dash to the speed sensor on the trans. Have it checked out by a good mechanic.


How speed of a squirrel cage induction motor can be varied?

There are two ways of changing the speed of AC motors,by altering the frequency or the number of poles in the motor. An increase in frequency of the supply voltage to the motor will cause it's speed to increase while reducing the frequency will causes the motor speed to drop. This is the method exploited by Variable Speed/Frequency Drive. The second method of changing the number of motor's stator poles is the difficult. The manufacture must design the motor such that the number of the motor's pole in operation can be increased or reduced. Increasing the number of poles increases the stator flux density which decreases the speed. Decreasing the number of poles does the opposite. This method is typically found in two speed motors and it's rarely used compared to VSDs.

How do you drop the voltage of a 12v dc motor to slow it down?

You can use a DC motor speed controller with pulse width modulation (PWM) to regulate the voltage supplied to the motor, thus slowing it down. By adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal, you can effectively control the speed of the motor while maintaining a constant voltage input. Another option is to use a resistor in series with the motor to reduce the voltage, but this method is less efficient and may cause power loss and heating issues.


What will drop first a cannon ball or a golf ball?

They will drop at the same speed, the only way one could beat the other is if you were to increase the speed it travels by giving it an extra push..


What would cause a floor to drop?

A floor could drop due to structural damage, such as rotting wood or compromised support beams. Poor construction or a shift in the building's foundation could also lead to a floor dropping. Ultimately, any factor that weakens the structure of a floor could cause it to drop.
